Ingredients

  • 350 g Chicken breast, fillets
  • 125 g Baby spinach
  • 1 tsp Basil, dried
  • 2 Garlic cloves, large
  • 2 tbsp Parsley, fresh
  • 2 Shallots, medium
  • 300 g Rigatoni
  • 1 Salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 20 g Butter, unsalted
  • 200 ml Double cream
  • 100 g Mozzarella, fresh
  • 30 g Parmesan, grated
  • 75 ml White wine, dry
  • 200 ml Passata (tomato sauce)

Method

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil and butter in a large pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Season chicken breast fillets with salt and pepper, then cook in the pan for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same pan, sauté diced shallots and minced garlic cloves until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour in dry white wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

  5. 5

    Add passata and dried basil to the pan, stirring well. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.

  6. 6

    Stir in double cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

  7. 7

    Meanwhile, cook rigatoni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  8. 8

    Slice the cooked chicken and add it back to the sauce along with fresh mozzarella pieces. Stir gently until cheese begins to melt.

  9. 9

    Add the cooked rigatoni to the sauce and toss to combine. Top with grated Parmesan and fresh parsley before serving.
